I just received a Armalite Ar10 buffer and I can't see any difference between it and an Ar15 buffer so would it would in an ar15?

Thanks

They are different lengths if we're talking about rifle buffers.

For carbine buffers, ArmaLite Inc. uses a longer extension tube, which works with AR15 carbine length buffers.  Some refer to this as the A5 tube.

That's what i thought.  I was told that this was a Ar10 buffer but you confirmed that it is not which is a good thing as I  have more use for it as a ar15 buffer. I just weighed it to same weight as well. This is indeed am A2 Ar15 buffer not a Ar10.

Thanks

It sounds like you are talking about rifle length buffers.

But if referring to .308 vs 5.56 carbine buffers, isn't the .308 going to be heavier? I thought they were H3s.

If rifle length, they ARE different and DO NOT interchange. The AR10 rifle length buffer is shorter than the AR15 rifle length buffer.

You'd need a custom length buffer tube if you wanna salvage it for an AR15.
